Convert Drum Brake to Disc Brake???

[Opt-ion]

Gud evening all the Honda sensei...

I want to know if you ever convert your rear drum brakes to EK4 disc brake how many item that we need to change from the stock brakes and chasis from the local EJ???

Are these these Basic we need

- Calipers
- Rotor
- Cables

and if you change the rear ones, would it be still as stable while you r keeping the stock disc brake in front?

and normally how much is it for 1 set of front and back?

my opinion is that you change both front n rear, cos front DOHC VTEC (EK9) is bigger disc n any workshop will do (as it's quite a simple job). I changed mine EG non vtec to EG9, front n rear for RM200 labour.

Better yet upgrade the servo as well.

good luck.

Do u mean to change the rotor and caliper to some better brands like brembo or spoon?

But when u change the disc need to change the lug knukles or not???

An used Brembo or Spoon can cause a big hole in your pocket, if you're just looking for better stopping power, get a semi or full racing brake pad will do..
If you still insist of converting to 4 disc brake, up grade your brake pump as well since the stock brake pump is design for only front use.

my fren wanted to sell his EK rear disc to me,

does this mean my stock lug knukles can't fit?

or I have to change d brake pump or all 4 disc including d front stock? :confused_smile:

Whether your friend's disc can fit or not to your existing stock lug knukles, not sure, maybe can ask ur mechanic. but for a peace of mind, disc brake already attached to its own knucle is so much easier to plug in/install n less hassle (reads less workmanship/upah charges).

Hi Op-tion,
just read in Honda Tuning mag. Dec 2005 issue, you can re-use the standard hub that came with ur drum brake, other than that u need new caliper bracket to hold a new caliper that can fit, and a brake cable as well, meaning it is possible if u have all these item ready. TQ.

Waaa DC5 rims. how much did you pay for those rims... nice... Anyway what did you do to make those rims fit because DC5 rims PCD 114.3 and offset +60

anyway, for those who don't have high budget for rims, the replica DC5 rims can be bought for less than 1k... BSA la... like i used to have heheh

here, halfcut shop sell DC5 rims at around RM1.5K.
